I've had a few with at least partial histories. One, a Wade & Butcher, belonged to the eBay seller's grandfather. That one I resold to a member here.



Before anybody gets judgmental about someone that'd sell their grandfather's razor: I've spent the last month cleaning out my mother's house, I'm here to tell you it's entirely possible for a close relative to have so much stuff that something like a razor doesn't represent a drop in the ocean.

Another I've got with a history is a French razor I got from France. Communicating with the seller through internet translation was a very special challenge, but I've done some research on my own and his claims are plausible. He said it belonged to a doctor and Rosicrucian in the early 1920's. It's a Rameau, and a fantastic shaver. Also has the nicest name engraving I've ever seen in a set of scales.
